Summary0008545: Dwarves become stressed from being separated from a loved one, often a loved one not even in the fortress.
DescriptionI've had this very irritating experience where many of my dwarves have been "under a great deal of stress" and some are even becoming "haggard and drawn due to the tremendous stresses placed" on them., even when generally they have happy thoughts. This eventually causes stress and depression among the dwarves, who eventually begin to throw tantrums and even go berserk.

I'm also seeing that the Dwarves they are separated from are often cousins, nephews, nieces, and all of the time they are dwarves who are not even a member of the fortress.
Steps To ReproducePresumably just starting a fortress and closely watching the emotions and stress levels of the dwarves.
Additional InformationI've already had one dwarf, who is haggard, in my current fortress throw a tantrum largely from the stress being caused from his separation anxiety.

Sounds exactly like 0008490. Are you sure you're using 0.40.16 and not 0.40.15?

... Well this is embarrassing, because I truly thought I had gotten the new version, but I guess I didn't. You're right.
